Like the variations on the traditional bridal White Dress, ‘long’ has transitioned to coming in many shades. The few inches between the floor length gown and a tea length gown can speak volumes about the occasion’s mood and formality.

Known as a﻿Tea, Dance or Ballerina length skirt, the shorter skirt is a subtle departure from the traditional floor length gown. A tea length skirt, which hits a few inches above the ankle, evokes an ingenue-like sensibility, and when paired with a ballgown silhouette, achieves a glamorous, debutante or ballerina look. The tea length quickly became embraced for being less formal than the longer hemlines and a perfect choice for a daytime garden ceremony.The Tea Length Wedding Dress never had more chic acclaim than when Audrey Hepburn wore it. Audrey Hepburn married Mel Ferrer in 1954 wearing a Balmain dress with tiny waist, wide sleeves and full skirt with a floral hair wreathe that was timeless in both it’s design and it’s accessories.ViewWhite Stole’sentire collection for size color ranges of Stoles, Stole Wraps, Vintage Stoles, StoleCapesand Shawls for purchase, or rental, on our website.
